Date: 2005-01-12 11:26 pm (UTC)It is WHY there is so much religious friction over there that I want to go. My discipler/mentor went on a missions trip to Northern Ireland when she was at uni, and she found that while most of the people belonged to some denomination of Christianity, it was strictly a political label. There were very few that actually went to church, or knew what it meant to have a relationship with Christ, and there was a lot of spiritual apathy.
So basically, what I want to do is show people they can have a relationship with God, free from any political crap or religious conflict. Catholics and Protestants essentially worship the same God, right? And yeah, I just wanna make a difference for young people who live over there.
I dunno, it might not end up working out, we'll have to see. Que sera.

Date: 2005-01-12 10:19 pm (UTC)feh, I probably over-romanticise it because of the (only real in the sense that Merseybeat was real, in that it was an all-encompassing name someone gave it, hee) Dunedin Sound, 'n stuff.

And National says with a budget excess we should cut taxes. We should spend it on all the things that the populace complain about. The nurses payrise is a good start.

or read Gibbons (http://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/home.html) and judge for yourself.
Having said that, as sixth_light points out, you can bring the experience home or take it elsewhere, like Europe. There's world class science being done in NZ, but not nearly enough money to fund what we *could* do.
As to the bugs, that's an interesting description of West Australians - I must remember that...

I love all that imperial stuff. None of its seems particularly new to me but great to realise I'm not jsut making connections to mist and fog.
I noticed similarities between the Pelopenessian War and the First World War too, at least in their causes.
